which of the four do you want to be the final song

[beatles4ever]

Help! or Hey Jude, but isnt Hey Jude more of piano?

[Flybird]

Even on the digitally remastered version, I don't hear distinct drums until 27 seconds, and the bass around 55. I mean, it's said that Ringo got up and went to the toilet and missed his cue, that's how long the wait was! Yes, John's on guitar, but it's drowned out by the piano... and I don't imagine TB:RB charting the piano to guitar like they've done with other artists and songs

Ringo actually didn't miss his cue. He came back from the bathroom EXACTLY when his cue started. He was right on time, lol.

But still, there's plenty of drums. And the guitar and bass is still there. They can still chart it.

And dude, they charted the string section in I Am the Walrus =/. I strongly doubt they'll chart piano however,

Even though this is one of the longest songs we'll likely see, that's still a long wait to get in on the action. It's like being the vocalist in Foreplay/Long Time... or most of the band in Won't Get Fooled Again!

It won't be a 2 minute wait like in F/LT and 1½ minute wait in WGFA. It's only a couple seconds.

I'm not saying it's a bad song, not in the least! I just don't feel it's as appropriate to this kind of game and that's why it's not on the list already.

Consider this - wouldn't they want the "final song" to be as appropriate and playable in the game as any of the others released so far?

I understand ya, and I know what you're saying, 100%. I'm just saying it's completely possible to have in the game is all.

Oh, I don't doubt they'll add it in as DLC. I just don't think it'll be on disc.
If I'm wrong, I'll apologize and if I'm right, I won't say "I told ya so".

But any song where the drummer can go to the loo and still get back in time to play is too long a wait, know what I mean?

Which makes sense, but I would be mad if Hey Jude doesn't get in the disc or DLC for that reason. Play "Behind Blue Eyes" that song is long enough for the drummer to take a **** and make a sandwich before he can play. And Baba o' Riley waits just about the same time for everybody, a little longer for guitar. (Or is it bass?)


Both of these songs are DLC.

If that message is actually an indicator of what the final song might be then...

Flying: Too obscure to leave as a "surprise". Most casual Beatles fans aren't familiar with it. So no.
Yesterday: Unless its a live version or some kind of remix with bass and drums then it would only have vocals and guitar so no.

That leaves Help! and Hey Jude. Hey Jude would make more sense as a closing song...unless the last song isnt the closing song, then either of these are game.

Just had a thought...what if the last unannounced song is within the course of the career mode (in crono order, not the encore)? And then there is a bonus song (not counted as part of the 45) as the encore (The End or whatever) which then leads into the closing cinematic. Probably wont happen, but that would be cool.

Help is on the way!

[HerSilverHammer]

To those saying it can't be Hey Jude because of length and Ringo using the toilet, I remind you: this isn't a Rock Band game. It's an experience.

That said... What if it's none? What if they picked four random songs from the DLC list?

It could be anything.

Indeed - and people want to experience playing as the Beatles - not sitting on the throne watching their friends have fun. Right?

Nah, I think I AM going to say "I told ya so" after all. Obstinate refusal to accept decisions rooted in concept and design philosophy deserve just a little ridicule, after all.
